Wedding Testimonials

The following testimonial has been given by the family of a couple who got married at Arley.

"Just had to drop you a line - don't know quite where to start because "Thank you" is not enough. Nevertheless, here it is a massive THANK YOU to yourself and all the staff at Arley. Amy and Callum's day was absolutely perfect in every way and that was down to you and your fantastic staff. Nothing was too much trouble, they were so polite and courteous and made everyone so welcome.

We have had lots of lovely comments from the guests to say how wonderful the whole day was. Thank you so much for the time you spent with us the other Sunday finalising things, again you were so patient and put our minds at rest that indeed everything would be under control and we had no reasons to worry- we went home feeling relieved and worry free.

Saturday was like a dream we felt like we were in an episode of Downton Abbey !!! A stunning venue, and a wonderful staff - what a combination for success ! Would love to do it all again next week (but we are broke!!!)."
Mary and Martin Rigby (The brides mum and dad)

“Dear Simon, Wow!! That was an absolutely fantastic day, a weekend in fact. We are completely drained now, but everyone had a fabulous time, and commented on how perfect the day was at Arley. My daughter said it was perfect. You and your staff were amazing.

Many people commented how friendly all the Arley staff were, how nothing was too much trouble, and how helpful your staff were. This was particularly appreciated by the people helping some of the elderly and disabled relatives. We cannot believe how perfectly the day went, from morning till the early hours! From our side everything was seamless, there were no hitches at all that we noticed, so if there were any, you managed everything superbly, and discreetly.

If you only do the job for love, then you should feel well loved, and proud of yourselves. Thanks for everything, a great day.
Best Regards, Lionel Stanton
